But Sun Gongda wasnât around at this moment, and Sun Rui had been arrested, so it was impossible for Sun Qionghua to ignore it. She hurriedly got out of bed. Without even changing out of her pajamas, she grabbed her coat and left.
âQionghua!â Fu Zhongli was woken up. Seeing her anxious expression, he hurriedly chased after her to find out why.
âDonât worry about it. Iâll go to the police station to see whatâs going on.â Sun Qionghua knew that Fu Zhongli didnât like to interfere in the Sun familyâs matters.
âIâll send you there.â Fu Zhongli knew very well that it wasnât easy to separate completely. Moreover, being caught for drugs was a very serious matter.
Their movements also woke up the entire Fu family. At this moment, apart from Fu Shinan, who was working in another city, Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi were also staying here. They all came out to check on the situation.
Although they had already gone out, the news of the Sun family being searched had already spread like wildfire.
***
When Fu Chen arrived at the old residence, the house was brightly lit. The police didnât disclose Sun Ruiâs matter to the public, but the media and those rich young masters and ladies had spread a lot of news to the outside world. Naturally, the Fu family had already heard the news.
When Yu Manxi thought about how the robbery attempt was deliberate and the robbersâ goal was to kill, she reached out to touch her stomach, and her back felt cold.
âSinian, bring her back to your room to sleep first. Itâs very late. Itâs not good for pregnant women to stay up late.â Dai Yunqing was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking furious.
âMom, donât be angry. Iâm fine. Besides, sheâs been arrested.â Yu Manxi didnât know how to comfort her, and she returned to her room after saying a few words.
After Fu Sinian and his wife left, Dai Yunqing still felt angry. âHow presumptuous. She acted so lawlessly in broad daylight! Sheâs too arrogant!
âDad, Mom.â Dai Yunqing looked at the two Fu elders. âI have to tell you in advance. If Second Sister-in-Law protects her maternal family this time, I wonât let this matter rest!
âSun Rui is too spoiled. She treated Third Brother like that before, and now, she almost killed people. Nothing happened because Manxi and Wanwan were lucky and met a kind-hearted person. If anything had happened, could the Sun family afford to take responsibility?â
Old Madam Fu pinched the space between her eyebrows. âI understand.â
She hoped that Sun Qionghua could be clear-minded this time. If she protected her maternal family again, the Fu family would probably not be calm.
âI canât sleep. I want to go to the police station to take a look.â Dai Yunqing walked out.
âEldest Sister-in-Law, donât go. Itâs quite late, and there are many reporters over there. Iâll help you take a look, and Iâll tell you the news.â Fu Chen stopped her. With her current state of mind, if she went there and Sun Qionghua wanted to protect Sun Rui, there would definitely be a conflict.
âLet Third Son go. Zhongli is also there. The brothers know what to do.â Old Madam Fu could only sigh.
***
Fu Chen found someone and successfully entered the police station in a police car. Although it was already past one in the morning, the police cars outside were honking, and the reportersâ flashing lights had never stopped. The dark night magnified everything to be extremely chaotic.
At midnightâ¦
A clap of thunder exploded in the entire country. Public opinion surged like a torrential storm of beasts.
Sun Rui was suspected of hiring people to commit murder, and the results of the urine test were not out yet. But the evidence of drug possession was conclusive. Even though she denied it in every way possible, she still panicked when faced with solid evidence.
Although Sun Qionghua and the others arrived early, they didnât see her. It wasnât until four in the morning and after contacting many people that they finally saw Sun Rui.
âSecond Master, itâs all arranged.â Fu Zhongli had found this person. âYour wife can only enter for fifteen minutes. You can see her now. Please hurry up.â
âThank you.â Fu Zhongli thanked him.
âThank you.â Sun Qionghua had already understood everything that had happened at the police station. She could clearly feel her blood turning cold.
âYouâre welcome. Time is tight. Go quickly.â
Fu Chen followed the two people to an interrogation room. There were still people guarding outside. The police officers in charge of investigating the case were mostly dragged out of their beds. After staying up all night, their eyes were bloodshot.
When they saw the Fu family members coming over, their eyes inevitably became strange.
âF*ck, is the Fu family going to protect Sun Rui?â
âSigh, who knows. If the Fu family says something, they might give Old Master Fu face and really push all the blame onto others.â
âThatâs too disappointing. Weâve been busy all night, but we were busy for nothing?â
â¦
Old Master Fu could be said to be the idol of several generations. He had devised strategies and won honor for the country many times during the founding of the country.
In everyoneâs hearts, the Fu family had always been the representative of a just and noble family. If the family was dirty, it would really be disappointing.
If the upper echelons were rotten, it was useless to have hot blood.
At the door, Fu Zhongli and Fu Chen didnât enter. âGo by yourself.â
Fu Zhongliâs mood was also complicated at this moment because what Sun Qionghua was going to do next might involve many things.
Once people questioned the Fu family for covering up for the Sun family, the first to be affected would be his father and eldest brother, who was still in politics. Fu Zhongli would have to make a choice.
âThank you.â Sun Qionghua opened the door with a pale face.
In the small room, there were a few chairs and a table. It was dead silent and empty. Sun Rui was sitting quietly. Her pupils were dilated, and her eyes were lifeless. She looked like a corpse. Her hands were twisting her clothes, and the veins on the back of her hands were bulging slightly. Her entire body was trembling.
When she heard the door open and saw Sun Qionghua, she was still a little dazed.
âAuntieâ¦â Sun Rui tried to get up, but she was fixed to the chair and couldnât move. âYou have to save me. Save me. I donât want to die. Auntieâ¦â
Ever since she had climbed into Fu Chenâs bed, their relationship had been very tense. Sun Rui hated her for not helping her, and Sun Qionghua was angry at her.
âDid you hire people to commit murder?â Sun Qionghua gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly.
âAuntie, I was rash. I didnâtâ¦â
Sun Qionghua rushed over, aimed at her face, and slapped her hard!
âYou were rash? Youâre still quibbling at a time like this? Youâre beyond redemption!
âYou even hid drugs. Do you know how many police officers sacrifice their lives every year to fight drugs?
âYou want me to save you? You want me to insult their sacrifices? Their families canât even erect tombstones for them because theyâre afraid of revenge. Youâve really brought honor to our Sun family this time!â
When Sun Rui heard this, she broke down and cried. She knew that Sun Qionghua wouldnât save her.
âAuntie?â Sun Qionghuaâs heart turned completely cold. âYouâre not worthy of calling me that at all. All these years of treating you well have been fed to the dogs!â
â¦
When Fu Zhongli heard Sun Qionghua say this, he felt relieved.
Fu Chen patted his shoulder. âItâs a good thing that Second Sister-in-Law understands. Iâll go call Mom and Dad.â
âOkay.â
Fu Chen walked to the window at the end of the long corridor, lowered his eyes, and made a call. The police lights in the police stationâs yard flashed, and the light reflected in his eyes was terrifying. âHello, Mom.â
âHow is it? Have you seen her?â
âDonât worry. Our family wonât become chaotic.â
She was really involved in drugs, and no one could protect her.
When Old Madam Fu heard this, she felt slightly relieved. She spoke to Dai Yunqing before going to the study to talk to Old Master Fu.
â¦
Everyone didnât sleep all night. When Old Madam Fu pushed the door open and entered, he was leaning against a chair and smoking. The entire study was shrouded in smoke.
âSecond Daughter-in-Law can see clearly. Sheâs not muddled this time. Donât worry.â
Old Master Fu nodded. âIâm not worried about her. Iâm just afraid that because she has a connection with the Fu family, it will make others feel bitterly disappointed.â Once people suspected that the Fu family was involved and doubted them, anyoneâs blood would turn cold.
Old Madam Fu walked to the table and saw a piece of Xuan paper on it. She splashed ink on it and wrote eight words:
[Ten years of drinking ice cannot cool hot blood.]
Old Master Fu lowered his eyes and took a puff of smoke. His voice was hoarse from the vicissitudes of life. âIâm afraid that because of our family, peopleâs hearts will turn cold. I will have let down the children who sacrificed themselves for this.â
